“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”
- Mark Twain
Just because someone has resigned themselves to being mediocre and would feel better if everyone else did too, doesn't mean others can't strive for something better.
There's never a reason to be a prima donna no matter what one's talents truly are. BTW your statement by mark twain shows twain as a narcissist. People who thrive on the attention of others often become famous. I'd rather not be a narcissist and not be famous. I don't expect flattery at every turn.
